Discussion
This is another smaller update. There are some fixes that should lead to fewer reports from the validator tool (and who knows, maybe fewer other bugs). PTSnoop fixed the tags bug that everyone had. He also fixed some flag stuff. Kwsdev also made some improvements to the frontend. If I read it right, you can now cancel in progress conversions, and the frontend should now automatically decompress saves for you if needed. If in the future we get a simple tool that will automatically de-ironman saves, it should support that easily, too.
In case you missed it, /u/thatsgerman10 created a minimod to add to the converter that gives some decisions to help the Americas be a bit more dynamic. Forum link/Download link.
Also, remember that your best best for support is to go to the forum thread (where plenty of people will be eager to help). If you don't have forum access, a new post will probably bring people to help you. Requests here are likely to be ignored, as I simply don't have the time to do the first round of support and others don't check regularly here.
Changes
Frontend fixes
Tag bug fixed
Flag bug fixed
Validator a little happier with the output mods
Limitations
Still need some improvements to culture conversion
Civ/Unciv still only determined by tech group
Validator not completely happy with the output mods

FAQ
Q: I got an error that mentions MSVCP120.dll. What do I do?
A :
Go to the Visual Studio Redistributable page: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
then click Download and select vcredist_x86.exe.
Once it has downloaded, install it and run the converter again.
Q: I have an ironman save. Can it be converted?
A: Well in fact you can transform an ironman save into a normal save. I have already tried it.
Locate your ironman save on your computer. If it's on the cloud, there is a copy there : ..Steamuserdatayour account236850remotesave games
Copy it on the 'local' save game directory and edit the copy with a software (notepad++ may be very usefull)
On the first line you will found the three letters of the tag of your nation (BYZ for exemple)
Replace it with another : (FRA because the BBB is always around hehe)
Load the savegame. You will play like france (strange ?)
Save it, change again the nation on the new save
TADAM ! It's no more ironman but a regular save
Thanks to Helkoi for the technique!
Q: I loaded my mod, but nothing changed. What's wrong? A: You probably placed the mod in the My Documents mod folder. It needs to go in the Vic2 install location's mod folder. Alternately, you don't have AHD of HoD. The converter doesn't support non-HoD Vic2 (though it might work anyway), and vanilla Vic2's mod folder doesn't work at all. If you really want to try, you'll have to make a copy of your game install and copy the mod on top of the copy. But really, do yourself a favor and get AHD and HoD.
Q: Vic2 is crashing at converting history. What do I do?
A: Try going into the mod and deleting history/units. If it now loads, likely a navy got placed badly. Open up log.txt and search for warnings. If any mention whitelisting and blacklisting, open port_blacklist.txt and add the provinces in the warnings to file file. Save it and reconvert. Repeat checking for the warnings and adding the provinces until there are no more warnings. You should now get a working mod. Make sure to inform the team of any provinces you had to add so we can include them in future releases.
Victoria 2 To Hoi4 Converter
Q: Vic2 is crashing at Initializing Maplogic. What do I do? A: Clear your map cache by deleting the cache folder inside '.../victoria 2/map/' in both My Documents and the Victoria 2 install location.
Q: I have an error of some kind not mentioned here. How do I get help?
A: Ask on the forum thread or start a new post in /r/paradoxplaza. Posts here may not be noticed or answered.
